There’s more! If you’re looking for a new multiplayer experience to try during the Free Play Days For All event on Xbox One, the Star Wars Battlefront II open beta also runs for free from Friday, October 6 at 1:00 a.m. PDT to Monday, October 9 at 11.59 p.m. PDT.

Honestly you should play the Star Wars Battlefront II even if you’re not actively looking for something new — it’s going to be spectacular and one of the largest ever distributed by EA. So, be sure to get started with your download as soon as possible. During the multiplayer beta, you’ll have the chance to try Arcade Challenges against AI foes, try your hand in the multi-stage Galactic Assault mode, and team up with your squadron of friends in Starfighter Assault.

Plus, everyone who plays the beta will receive a specially curated Founder’s Crate filled with goodies as a thank you from the developers, including credits, an exclusive emote for Darth Maul, and a rare trooper Star Card to give them a head start in battle.

If that’s not enough, tune into the Xbox Channel on Mixer or use the Mixer App on your Xbox One during the whole weekend to watch some of our top streamers livestream the Star Wars Battlefront II open beta. There will be lots of sci-fi movies as giveaways to viewers, so come hang out. It’ll be a great time!
